DoE Funding Opportunity - Hydrogen Storage Materials

A critical need is the development of materials for hydrogen storage as a necessary precursor to the eventual implementation of the hydrogen economy. For practical transportation applications, the hydrogen storage material must function in the temperature range of 0-100°C and pressure range of 1-10 bar. The materials currently being investigated for hydrogen storage include metal organic frameworks; alloys and intermetallics; sodium and lithium alanates; nanocubes; carbon nanotubes; and other emerging materials. Grant applications are sought to develop materials that provide high hydrogen storage density and stability at commercially relevant conditions of temperature and pressure. More information
